I don't like this product for use on the eyelashes, because it weighs down the lashes, and just doesn't work well.

For eyebrows I do like it, I'm actually on my 3rd one, which says a lot because I never use anything up, but it also has to do with the fact that you don't get much product.

It doesn't make my eyebrows feel too crunchy, but It also wont keep your eyebrows in place all day.

I do like it, but I would like to try other eyebrow gels/mascaras in the future because this one really doesn't have good staying power.

It's a just clear gel, so I didn't think there was a need for a swatch.

I have these in Drama-rama, I'm Guilty, and Jailbait. They're available in 6 shades.



These are infused with Shadow Insurance, I haven't tried Too Faced Shadow Insurance by itself, but I have tried Urban Decay Primer Potion, I don't have a problem with creasing when using these, but keep in mind that I do have dry skin, so if you have oily skin these may very well crease on you.

All of the colors I have are shimmery, you only need a small amount.

Top to bottom 
Drama-rama a dark brown with gold & bronze shimmer, I'm Guilty aqua blue with blue shimmer, Jailbait light pink with silver shimmer
My only complaints with these are that they separate, and they fade somewhat throughout the day.

Overall I would recommend, they don't crease for me, they're nice colors, and Too Faced don't test on animals.

I have this in 903C Just Peachy

This lipstick is very pigmented, I only have one so I can't speak for all of the colors, however from the other swatches I've seen they all appear to be very pigmented
The formulation is quite dry, it will dry out your lips, but that can be easily solved by applying a lip balm before hand.

The lasting time is good, but it will wear off when you eat, as with most lipsticks.

Overall for the price, lasting time, and pigmentation I would recommend these. Lip balm & exfoliation are key, otherwise it will look terrible.

I have this in Light, it comes in three shades Light, Medium, and Tan

As others have stated this concealer will last you forever, you get a lot of product, and because of the pigmentation you only need a tiny amount.
Many people have raved about this concealer on YouTube, but sadly it doesn't work for me, I have dry skin, and no matter what it looks cakey on me, but it could also be due to the fact that this concealer has a very thick consistency 

There isn't a shade that matches me, the light is too light for my undereyes, the medium isn't much darker than the light, and it's too beige toned for me, I'm sure the tan would be too dark.

It does crease under the eyes, but not too badly.

It will work for covering tattoos fairly well if you layer it, it does come with directions for covering tattoos.

For reference I'm an NW20 in MAC, so I find it surprising that the light is too light for me.

The swatches are both for the shade Light, just in different lighting.
I still give the product 4 stars even though it doesn't work for me because I think it would work great for people who don't have dry skin, pigmentation is amazing, the price is great, and Hard Candy don't test on animals.

Overall I do recommend if you don't have dry skin, and can find a shade that matches you.
